Hi. I did a search, but didn`t see anything definitive. I was wondering what the durability of Z-AIO is by itself (without Z-CS or anything on top of it). Thanks for any information!

Fantastic. One of the best I`ve tried. The scent is unreal as well. Smells like bubble gum.
I think the average user could get 2-3 months as a standalone. Personally, I`d use it as a base and top occasionally with Z8 to get the most bling.
Thanks for the replies. I like Z-AIO, but didn`t have time to top it off with something last weekend. I figure I could get some decent durability out of it, though, since it`s Zaino and all. And the scent is nice. Kinda chemical, but sweet.
Last year I got 3 months on ZAIO alone and it was still beading/slick. This was on my beater which was parked at the Atlanta airport 45 hours a week.

Z-AIO lasted about 2 months on my moms hood back when this product first came out. I would defineately top something on top of Z-AIO, but then again I just applied it on her hood without proper prep.
Converted over to ONR & now Lowes grout sponge. Protected by 3M clear bra, and one layer of Zaino is all you need!
It only stayed slick for about four weeks for me, but I *DID* like it nonetheless. Dunno how you folks get months out of the stuff, sure wish I did :think:
Here is the writeup I did at the 3 month mark on my Acura.

gmblack3a- I remember that! Was it still slick after the 3 months? I ask because for me it was still beading but it wasn`t as slick as I like.

It lasted about 3-4 weeks for me without topping it. Washing with DG soap, no QD.
One application tip, let it sit and fully dry before removing it.

There was still some slickness to the paint during washing, not like day one but not totally dead either.

I appreciate everyone`s input.
Sorry I missed your original review, gmblack3a. I didn`t intend to start a duplicate thread.
If I was going to use Z-AIO as a stand alone on a car, would this hurt the paint if I apply monthly? I think it`s a good question because of the abrasives in Z-AIO which are "minor" but overtime it might be bad?
